Synopis of furthur information from Cynthia's pension claim.

After Solomon's death, she applied for a widow's and minor child pension. In her claim, she produced a marriage license and certificate showing that she and Solomon were married on Feb. 11, 1861 at Mary Barnett's home (this is Cynthia's mother) in the presense of Daniel Cox and William Perry. The presiding minister was John. K. Martin

She furthur claimed that one child was born to this union, James E. (*this is James Irving Taylor), born the 23rd day of March, 1862. This was attested to by Ebney (?) Perry and Nancy Taylor.
